DEEP LEARNING FOR AUTOMOTIVE - A HETEROGENEOUS APPROACH
The Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing our world. Exponential growth in processing power in silicon and simultaneous reduction in its cost has created a new class of embedded technologies that have built-in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The CNN architecture is inspired by the neurons of the human brain. This is also known as ‘Deep Learning’, essentially because, layers of ‘Deep Neural Networks’ are trained using data sets from the real world. The ultimate goal... [Lire la suite]

DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES-STATE OF THE ART
Reinforcement learning is considered to be one of the strongest paradigms in AI domain, which can be applied to teach machines how to behave through environment interaction. Recently the concept of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) was introduced and was tested with success in games like Atari 2600 or Go, proving the capability to learn a good representation of the environment. In this moment there are few implementations of DRL in the autonomous driving field. In... [Lire la suite]

In-car Voice Assistants--What’s the State of Play?
On one hand, so much has changed in the automotive and tech industries over the last year. But it also feels oddly familiar. Let me explain.
At CES at the start of this year, voice assistants were dominating the conversation.
